kaffeine-1.0-0.1.pre1.fc11.i586 - is that the one you are thinking of?  
Anything you want me to check?

Yes, they are mp3s.  I have the codecs installed, and they do play correctly 
for part of the track.  This is not just one track - I've tried several.  I 
can play non-stop in amarok on the netbook, just not on this laptop.

It may also be relevant that I have the dreaded Intel ICH6 sound chip - though 
again, everything else seems to be working, so I assume there's nothing very 
wrong with the setup.
